Coping with Grief: a guide for you

A death on the road is sudden and violent and causes intense grieving for many people bereaved in this way. Brake has produced a guide for people bereaved by road crashes, called Coping with Grief. This guide has been used by thousands of people, who say it helps them understand what they are going through, cope, and start their recovery.

Looking after yourself at this time is very important and can prevent long-term damage to health and quality of life. If you have been bereaved by a road crash, or are supporting someone who has, you can access this guide using the links below.

Every 30 seconds someone, somewhere in the world is killed in a road crash. Many more are killed by respiratory diseases from air pollution caused by road traffic.
